Colorado Dems under fire after they censured Gov. Jared Polis over Tina Peters’ early release. Polis: governor, 2023–present.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis has commuted Tina Peters’s nine-year prison sentence for unlawfully copying Mesa County election data. The Colorado Democratic Party has censured Polis, arguing the clemency undermines election integrity. Peters could be paroled on June 1 after serving less than two years. The move follows weeks of pressure from Trump allies and a broaderdebate over election security.
